Baseball Batters ‘Chuck’, But ‘Grimm’ Rises from Dead

The season premiere of “Chuck” took a beating from baseball, but the news wasn’t so grim for NBC’s “Grimm.”

“Chuck” took it on the chin at 8/7c Friday night — drawing just 3.387 million for the first episode of its fourth and final season on NBC. At 9/8c, the premiere of NBC’s new horror series “Grimm” just about doubled the “Chuck” audience. “Grimm” averaged 6.486 million viewers for its first episode, according to the Nielsen overnights.

That wasn’t a bad number for “Grimm,” when you consider that Game 7 of the World Series on Fox drew 23.681 million viewers during that hour. Premiering just in time for Halloween weekend, “Grimm” is NBC’s reworked, contemporary update of the old Grimm fairytales.
